Resolving conflicts between VPN and Firewall
Oct 17, 2016
In order for a VPN software to work properly, it needs to have full access to networking since it has to be able to add and remove routes. If the VPN software provides additional firewall/dns leak protection, like the Perfect Privacy VPN Manager, it will also need to have full access to the Windows Firewall: To prevent IP or DNS leaks it is necessary to add corresponding firewall rules. Additionally, firewall rules are needed to ensure that traffic can only be sent through the encrypted VPN tunnel.
